Points are awarded in various categories and point totals for Gold Silver etc, vary by class. We are class B for this competition but we actually earned enough points to also get a gold in class A as well!

A little note from swim coach Will Morgan: This Past weekend the Seacats Participated in their last regular season meet. In the GNAC conference meet in Hastings, the boys got 5th place and the girls got 4th place out of 5 teams. Some of our top swims included: The boys' Medley Relay placing 2nd and obtaining a Secondary state time. Tj Ricky placing 4th in the 200 Free and 2nd in the 50 Free. Dien Nguyen placing 3rd in the 200 IM and 4th in the 100 Free Patricia Woolsey placing 3rd in the 50 free and 1st in the 500 Free Wisley Mooc placing 3rd in the 100 Back and 2nd in the 100 Fly Aspen Cheek tying for 4th in the 100 fly Megan Kicken placing 5th in the 100 back Maddux Janecek placing 2nd in the 100 breast and our Boys 200 Free Relay placing 3rd. Overall we had a great conference meet to end the season, where everyone was successful in gaining PRs and showcasing all of their improvement gained throughout the season. Tuesday night after all nominations were sent into that state, we got confirmation that our boys 200 Medley relay qualified for state and is seeded 23rd going into prelims. We also got confirmation that Patricia Woolsey made it into the 500 Free also seeded at 23rd.
